really looking forward to them especially the 76 concert however i would prefer some 1971 or 73 concerts we dont seem to have much of this and there are a few decent bootlegs of 71, i think ftd should release a complete concert all ready available as bootleg and show us how much they can improve the quality and the artwork

i look forward to love letters and the lost album- i will always call it that because thats how i bought it in the 90's as a cassete. i dont want another 1976 concert they are too close together meaning tuscon 76 and and this one. i want some 1971 concerts

does anyone know the date of that live 'something' track? its not dated in the TTWII booklet ( sorry if i'm going off topic)

I agree with Marten, I think it would be great to have Elvis Country both in its original form and then also without "I Was Born About Ten Thousand Years Ago" linking all the songs together. I also think, like Marten, that one could argue that "Where Did They Go, Lord" and "Rags To Riches" would've suited the FTD Country album better, especially in a chronological sense, since they were recorded in september 1970, together with "Snowbird" and "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On'" (by the way not exactly a country song either, eh?). On the other hand I find it strange that "Something" was included on the FTD TTWII when Jorgensen himself states in his book A Life In Music that the song was considered for the Love Letters album. And as a final note: I think it's sad that you can't express your opinion on this page without running the risk of getting a nasty comment in return. Just my humble opinion, of course.

Jerry, didn't I write "the original album + all songs without "10 000 Years Ago" in between"? You may correct me (again) if Im wrong. I think this + (oh, theres that little sign again) alternate takes would fit into two CDs, but I havent sat with my stopwatch to prove this. Maybe you have.

In answer to what Palle wrote, in the UK during the 60's all the LP's and EP's had white borders, it was only towards the end of the 60's that they ended that. I am looking forward to these releases, I really like what FTD provide and welcome any new release. I have just purchased the new TTWIS set and our boy's voice sounds wonderful on it. Great work guys.

Marten: Have you been paying attention? Any FTD "classic" album always begins with the ORIGINAL album. For "Elvis Country" that means the first 12 tracks (the original album) will have the music snippet between the tracks. BTW: A case can be made for "Where Did They Go Lord" as a country song, but NOT "Rags To Riches". That song originates from Tony Bennett. Overwrought, big-voiced Elvis ballad, but not country in the least.

First: We don't know for certain that the bonus songs listed for "Love Letters" is correct. Second: The inclusion of "Sylvia", if correct, doesn't necessarily preclude a release on FTD of "Elvis-Now." After all "Crying In The Chapel" was included on "His Hand In Mine" And I can assure you it will be included on the FTD version of HGTA.

Marten (profile/ contact) wrote on Jun 2, 2008report abuse

I'm so glad Sylvia (and Sound of Your Cry) seems to be included, which hopefully means there will be no ftd classic album version of Elvis Now! Instead, I hope Ernst and Roger are considering a 1971 "lost" pop album as a 2 CD special instead. Sort of an "Lost Album" volume 2. Or maybe 3, counting an 1966-1968 Nashville Album ... Also, Rags to Riches and Where Did They Go Lord (which would have suited an Elvis Country ftd better) can mean that there will be a 2 CD Elvis Country ftd, with the original album + all songs without "10 000 Years Ago" in between. With the often few alternate takes of the Country songs, I think this will fit into a 2 CD package. Keep 'em coming!

I'll reserve judgement on these releases until after FTD releases the official tracklist.

Palle (profile/ contact) wrote on Jun 2, 2008report abuse

Great .... a new title on an old album! Kinda like the white borders on the classic albums, where there were no white borders on them during Elvis' lifetime

Chop983 (profile/ contact) wrote on Jun 2, 2008report abuse

It's 90's title was "For The Asking (The Lost Album)" and I would have stuck with that. The first part at least. as it's in keeping with those 60's Nashville albums

memphis tennessee? wasn't it called the 'lost' album when released in the 90's? what was wrong with that title? i hope the FTD release has kept the original 'lost album' cover and comes in the 6" version otherwise I will be disappointed...
